We remember, Griving God,those, in so many places,in so many times,who have died in war;and we praywe might honor themby becoming your children,makes of peace to our broken world.

We remember, Mothering God,children who have grown uparound us in our schools,in our neighborhoods, in our churches,and who have now gone to war;and we pray for childrenthroughout the worldwho are orphansof violence and death.

We remember, God of Truth,the wars which rage within us,the aggression we feel towards others,our unwillingness to forgive,our desire to foster divisions and discord,our discomfort in being calledto love our enemies;
